Currently less than 250 PLEX left in Jita...Sellers are waiting for higher prices or simply low supply?

Who would spend real life money on a game that has shrinking numbers, less opportunities and less need for more expensive ships?

1) Players are unsubbing
2) Capitals are now more of a burden than before
3) Deflation is starting to become a problem in all other markets (See Pith and T3 prices)
4) New player numbers dropping (they tend to sell plex on the market to vets)
5) Lack of new players means a huge isk sink is gone (Skillbooks)
6) Game is losing its focus and fun for many, which means more PLEX and less SUB

Problem with a shrinking player count, shrinking opportunities and lower entertainment value means people won't spend cash on this game, whether that is cash for pay to win (PLEX) or cash for subs (Play with Plex)

As a result, Plex has no limit, this is hugely bad for the game.

CCP Quant: Of all those who logon in Eve, 1.5% do Incursions, 13.8% PVP and 19.2% run Missions while 22.4% mine.

40.7% Join a fleet. The idea that Eve is a PVP game is false, the social fabric is in Missions and Mining.

I'm surprised by the roughly 100 million pop of the last couple days

A dozen of new Skins almost every week since various months is for sure another pusher for the Plex price.

... because they can't afford to pay $9.99 / month. Can't imagine the electricity bill to pay for this. Must be more than $9.99 / month.

*shrugs* meh

Considering some PLEx Specials offer by CCP occurs on a few accounts at $9.99 or $13 or $29 for 2 PLEx.
You have to include your finite dollars and pay before the offer expires.

As for electricity , get a solar panel or a bike with energy convertor / generator battery charger (if your food bill is worthwhile).

(This does not include a $60 cab fare to avoid being late for work due to PvP delays... Or diversions)


Xenuria pls go.

First of all, what happened to the Ministry of Defence?

And reading this thread makes me wonder what the price will be by the time I get back home in October. Crikey!

I think the last time we had so less PLEX in the market i made a topic about it https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=152886
Price spiked like crazy when someone else bought them out completly and CCP had to intervene. I guess CCP will do that again if PLEX are spiking that hard again but in the end it won't matter. PLEX are profoundly over 1b and i doubt they will ever go back.

I'm glad i stocked up my PLEX at 755m with 1100m i'm up 138b profit, nothing can beat passive income ;)

As much as I supported the unfucking of EVE over the past years, I can't but wish for new Jesus features right about now.

Nothing lasts forever. Vacation is over, time to pay attention to real life for a while. Some day...

I remember when PLEX was stable at around 500 mil mark, then suddently it went up in a matter of months, same thing is happening now, it will stabilize, I just wonder when...Long term though it's not going to stop. When I began playing it was less than 300 mil...

So like ori McKie said, it's always a good idea to stockpile in the right time, however in his case that must have been 400-500 PLEXes, not everyone can invest that much.

It still looks good in the books.
